The Economy
In question period on the economy, Conservatives pointed to record food bank use—citing 2.4 million visits in one month nationally, 3.2 million monthly requests in Quebec, and rising visits in the territories, with about a third involving children—to argue the government’s affordability measures are not working, and asked the government to lower costs, including by removing federal taxes on diesel. Liberal members replied by pointing to their programs: national child care, dental care, the Canada child benefit, and a national school food program reaching 400,000 more children, and repeatedly asked why Conservatives vote against these measures. Most exchanges stayed on this back-and-forth about food insecurity and government supports.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
